I use a swim safe binder and a swim shirt. If anyone notices the binder I just say I need it for my back since I have back problems

my chest is too large to tape so i usually wear a binder and a shirt over it with a pair of swim trunks. mine isn’t a specific swim binder i just have a dedicated gc2b one or use an older one that’s not in shape to wear everyday anymore. my cisgender boyfriend wears a t shirt and swim trunks too. you won’t look out of place or anything

Personally I don’t have a ton of chest dysphoria so as long as strangers don’t see me I don’t care. Easier said than done of course, but my family’s a bunch of hermits so whenever we go to the beach my dad goes for private/secluded spots anyways. And if someone does come by or I feel suddenly self conscious I’ll have a towel I can drape over my shoulders, usually hides it well enough for me.

Wonababi but they tend to run small so you might need to size up I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve also heard The Fluxian has pretty good, safe options for swim and exercise

i use the transtape brand, it can get wet and lasts up to 5ish days. ik some people have found good knockoff brands or just kt tape, but i’m not sure how those last in water.
